Christian Trautwein deals with the treatment of patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract including liver, gallbladder and pancreas, as well as adult patients with metabolic diseases. The Department has an intensive care unit for internal diseases, a section for endoscopy and endocrinology and diabetes.

As the intensive care unit of maximal care, the Department under the direction of Univ. Prof. Dr. med. Christian Trautwein has the most advanced equipment: hemodynamic monitoring is provided by means of the latest techniques, e.g., transpulmonary thermodilution technique, pulse counter analysis and catheter for a pulmonary artery. These techniques enable the differentiated circulation therapy.

If a patient has blood clotting disorders (especially, related to liver), then there is provided the differentiated diagnosis and treatment of blood clotting. The latest diagnostic methods, drugs and separate or complex blood clotting factors can be applied for this purpose.
